Joint Gas and Electric

Many consumers think of their energy needs for gas and electricity as being separate and coming from different suppliers usually because they continue to buy each from the supplier that they’ve always used. Read more...>

Most of the major energy providers in the market now supply both gas and electricity in what they call dual supply. If you choose to take both forms of energy from the same supplier it can be more convenient and may lead to discounts but it’s still worth making comparisons across the board because some suppliers may be cheaper for one than the other.

Top Tips

  • Dual suppliers can offer one set of energy bills for convenience
  • If you are dealing with a dual supplier, you only need to set up one payment method to one energy account
  • A dual supplier may have one phone number and call centre where you can make enquires about both your gas and electricity accounts
  • Some dual suppliers, who have been formed by the merging of two or more energy companies, can still feel like separate energy companies under the same banner
